It originates in the prestigious Tuscan vineyards surrounding the Castello di Brolio, in the territory of Gaiole in Chianti. The vines grow at optimal altitudes on sun drenched slopes, benefiting from a favorable climate and significant diurnal temperature variations. The strength of this terroir lies in its complex geological diversity; the roots explore various soil formations including Macigno sandstone, galestro (marly shale), and alberese (limestone clay) alongside marine deposits and river terraces. This richness is reflected in the glass, lending a distinct minerality to the palate. Following a meticulous manual harvest, the grape clusters undergo temperature controlled fermentation in steel tanks. An extended period of maceration on the skins ensures the optimal extraction of color and structure. The wine then matures for approximately a year and a half in French oak barrels and barriques a crucial stage for softening the tannins and enriching the aromatic profile with toasted nuances. A final, carefully measured period of bottle aging completes the process, harmonizing all the components to deliver a sip that is balanced, powerful, and fragrant.
In appearance, it is a deep, dark ruby ​​red. The array of aromas that unfolds on the nose evokes notes of cherry jam, licorice, tobacco, tar, and wild herbs. On the palate, it is succulent and fresh thanks to excellent acidity as well as well balanced. It concludes with a long finish.
